Labiaplasty

Serving Houston, Pearland, Sugarland, and Friendswood, Texas

Labiaplasty is cosmetic surgery performed on the female genitalia, either the labia majora, the outer labia, or the labia minora, the inner labia. Labiaplasty may include surgery to both the labia majora and minora, or only to one or the other. Sometimes, labiaplasty refers to any form of vaginal rejuvenation.

If you feel uncomfortable about the size or shape of your labia, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Leo Lapuerta to learn whether you might be a good candidate for labiaplasty at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Southeast Texas.

Why Labiaplasty?

A number of issues may prompt the desire for labiaplasty, or cause distortion of the labia. Some of the more common labial issues are:

• Too-large labia
• Inelastic or sagging labia
• Asymmetrical or uneven labia
• Stretched labia
• Discomfort in tight-fitting clothes
• Discomfort when exercising or during sex

Labia surgery is often prompted by discomfort, either physically when wearing tight-fitting clothes, or discomfort with your appearance. Many women complain of visible bulges or irregularity when they are wearing a swimsuit or other tight-fitting clothing. The most common causes of labial discomfort or malformed labia are:

• Childbirth
• Aging
• Weight loss
• Weight gain
• Congenital shape or size

Labia surgery can be safely combined with other types of plastic surgery, such as a tummy tuck or perineoplasty.

Types of Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is most commonly performed as labia minora reduction or reshaping. Labia reshaping is often used to correct asymmetry in the outer or inner labia. This may be required because of discomfort caused by the unevenness of the labia, or simply for aesthetic purposes.

Labia augmentation is used to treat loose or sagging labia majora which lack resilience or fullness. Often labia majora lose fullness as a consequence of aging or weight loss, so augmentation usually takes the form of lipoinjection,
